FWIW, the following produces what you want in Vim and Evil alike: 1. Yank the string into the register "a". 2. Select the first column. 3. Press "c". 4. Paste from the register with "C-r a". (Since the change operation copies the original column into the " register, we have to use another register.) -- Vegard
